Neutral Safety Switch

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1989 Dodge Ramcharger, 1989 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1989 Dodge Ram Van, 1989 Dodge Pickup, and 1989 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. With transmission linkage properly adjusted, switch should allow starter operation in "P" and "N" only. To test switch, remove wire connector and test for continuity between center pin of switch and case. Continuity should exist only with transmission in "P" or "N".
  2. Check for continuity between 2 outer pins. Continuity should exist with transmission in Reverse, only. There should be no continuity between either outside pin or transmission case.
    NOTE: Ensure gearshift linkage is properly adjusted before replacing a switch that tests bad.
  3. To replace, remove switch from case and allow fluid to drain. Move selector lever to "P" and "N" positions and check that switch operating fingers are centered in switch opening. Install new switch and seal. Retest switch for continuity and add transmission fluid.
